I'd say that a trust is a real capitalist union (and other similar formations). Networks don't have any sort of binding element, usually, and are extremely hierarchical.
In any case, I think that if you believe you can make a good video on the subject, you should go for it!
You just mentioned the reason why I think a lot of capitalists use blackmail and weird rituals to keep one another in line. They bind one another through socially pressured pedophilia, or drug use, or even simple stuff like lies about how much money they actually have.
Although I haven't really figured out if this is to make the public think that capitalists aren't bound together (by having their connections more secretive) or because there are genuine disagreements between different sectors of bourgeoisie. I can't imagine every capitalist is fully aware of the game.
Outside of trusts and the like, the capitalists are in competition with each other and their broad conspiring is basically to maintain a beneficial playing field for that competition because they're all angling to become as rich as they can, and anyone who isn't is replaced by a competitor who is.
